Roll-Over Protection System (ROPS) 01
Function
Roll bars in raised position.
The ROPS system consists of strong roll bars
which are located behind the passengers’
head restraints, as well as sensors. In the
event of a situation where the car is at risk of
overturning, or in the event of a sufficiently vi-
olent collision from behind, the sensors de-
tect this and the roll bars rise up behind the
passengers’ heads. The roll bars are de-
ployed irrespective of whether the roof is
open or closed.
Always contact an authorised Volvo work-
shop if the ROPS system has deployed.
WARNING
Do not carry out any work on the ROPS sys-
tem.
Do not place any objects on the ROPS sys-
tem or behind the passengers’ head re-
straints.
